Government Quote by Cenk Uygur

“When's the last time CNN broke an important story or really made the government angry? I literally can't remember. That's because they're built to be inoffensive. They do the opposite of watchdog journalism. They simply pass on the government's message to their audience.” quote by Cenk Uygur — Download Open image
